【Micron engineer laughs off Huawei’s “Tao’s Law”: “Every few months there’s a fresh round of hype and ‘thrilling breakthroughs’” in China】

A recent interview with a semiconductor industry professional has sparked discussion. In the video, a process integration engineer who has worked at Micron in Singapore for about nine years was asked how he views Huawei’s “Tao’s Law” (τ law).

Before posing the question, the UP (uploader) mentioned that he had previously asked Huawei personnel about it, but they would “only discuss it off the record.”

Upon hearing the question, the interviewee laughed first and then cautioned, “This part is quite risky.”

In his view, the technical path behind the so-called “Tao’s Law” had already existed before the company proposed the concept, and many other companies had already adopted it. Essentially, he sees it as more of a repackaging of existing technologies such as advanced packaging and logic folding, rather than a revolutionary breakthrough out of nowhere.

The interviewee also remarked that “every few months” he sees a flurry of “short pieces” and “thrilling breakthrough” narratives in China’s semiconductor sector — from 5nm to 7nm to all sorts of alleged major breakthroughs. As far as he is concerned, this latest publicity is no different from the hype that has come before.
